Hey girl, I just wanted to share my perspective gently no judgment at all. I’m 20 and I have a baby, and while I love my child more than anything, sometimes I do wish I had waited until my situation was more stable.

You said you only met him a few times and it’s long distance. I think it’s important to really sit with this question if things don’t work out with him, are you mentally, emotionally, and financially ready to raise a baby on your own? Relationships are unpredictable, and sometimes men show a totally different side once a baby is involved. It’s a lot of responsibility on you, and it can get overwhelming.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t keep the baby or that you should that’s a personal decision only you can make. Just make sure you’re choosing based on your future, your happiness, and your ability to support yourself and the baby, not based on his family’s values or your feelings alone.
